Publish Not your original work? Add source Life is full of surprises, and nobody can guarantee you that these surprises will only be positive. There are nearly 8 billion folks on this planet, living with their own quirks and personalities, and chances are someone on your way will end up disappointing you. It's safe to say that one of the most crucial reasons why everything is, more or less, emotionally tiring is because we attach our happiness to others. We struggle to accept our importance, and we only pay attention to how we can satisfy everyone else around us. We put ourselves aside, forgetting that we're supposed to thrive and not survive – though, for most of us, this sort of epiphany comes with age when you finally understand that there's no more room for negativity. An online user wondered and took it to one of Reddit's communities to ask women to share their own versions of hard-to-swallow pills they've managed to learn over the years. The post received nearly 4K upvotes and 1.5K worth of emotional yet encouraging stories. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 You can do everything right and still get f**ked. You can’t control that. definitive-airwave , Nenad Stojkovic Report Final score: 364points POST Claire Stanfield Claire Stanfield Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life." - Jean-Luc Picard 253 253points reply View More Replies... View more comments #2 That no one cares. This sounds pessimistic but I really don’t mean it that way. When it comes to medical issues, boundaries with friends, or relationships, no one cares about you the way you do, and no one will advocate for you the way you can. You need to value yourself and take action as if no one else will, because in all likelihood, they won’t. queensguardian1 , Brazucany.TV Report Final score: 362points POST K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I tell my daughter this bc I want her to be prepared when I'm not here anymore. I will fight for her tooth and nail but I still don't know exactly what she's going through only she does and she needs to learn how to advocate for herself even if it means a raging angry fight. 167 167points reply View More Replies...

SnooTigers6225 , Marco FrontSoldier Report Final score: 309points POST Anaïs Grobin Anaïs Grobin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I wish this was talked about more. I've been married to a "pushy" guy for 20 years. The implication in this post is that it veers towards sexual or physical abuse, but it doesn't always. My husband is neither, but his pushiness has destroyed parts of our life that we can never fully repair. Pushy people aren't all motivated by the same things, but the end result will be horrifying regardless, if unchecked. Rule #1 in life, set clear boundaries. Rule #2, maintain those boundaries at all costs. 196 196points reply View More Replies... View more comments #9 Not everyone who comes into your life is meant to stay.

One night when I was 15, they got into a huge fight. I had had enough of this in my life. I got up, took my mother's car and left. I came back the next morning to get some clothes, and my mom shows up. I told her I was leaving and would not come back until they divorced, and I didn't. She gave me $200 and the car to use. I left town, and they divorced. We were all happier. Parents should never stay together " for the kids." All you end up with is mentally disabled children. I speak from experience. 243 243points reply View More Replies...

Got a peloton to see if that's easier. It's not. Exercise and watching your calorie intake is the only thing that keeps you feeling good at every age. You will still go through middle age and gain weight and have pain and have some issues w your health but taking care of yourself is all you really have that helps ease aging 87 87points reply View More Replies...

Exceptions exist for a select small group of "special" people. VeronicaMarsupial , Ricardo Moraleida Report Final score: 204points POST Dani Alexander Dani Alexander Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago It always baffles me at how much love and respect I feel for friends or distant family, and how little I get back. It hurts me to know that they don’t care about me like I care about them and it confuses me, like am I a bad person? Is that why they don’t return my respect.

30 Important But Hard-To-Swallow Life Truths As Shared By Women In This Online Group
Darja Zinina andSaulė Tolstych
Publish Not your original work? Add source Life is full of surprises, and nobody can guarantee you that these surprises will only be positive. There are nearly 8 billion folks on this planet, living with their own quirks and personalities, and chances are someone on your way will end up disappointing you. It's safe to say that one of the most crucial reasons why everything is, more or less, emotionally tiring is because we attach our happiness to others. We struggle to accept our importance, and we only pay attention to how we can satisfy everyone else around us. We put ourselves aside, forgetting that we're supposed to thrive and not survive – though, for most of us, this sort of epiphany comes with age when you finally understand that there's no more room for negativity. An online user wondered and took it to one of Reddit's communities to ask women to share their own versions of hard-to-swallow pills they've managed to learn over the years. The post received nearly 4K upvotes and 1.5K worth of emotional yet encouraging stories. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 You can do everything right and still get f**ked. You can’t control that. definitive-airwave , Nenad Stojkovic Report Final score: 364points POST Claire Stanfield Claire Stanfield Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life." - Jean-Luc Picard 253 253points reply View More Replies... View more comments #2 That no one cares. This sounds pessimistic but I really don’t mean it that way. When it comes to medical issues, boundaries with friends, or relationships, no one cares about you the way you do, and no one will advocate for you the way you can. You need to value yourself and take action as if no one else will, because in all likelihood, they won’t. queensguardian1 , Brazucany.TV Report Final score: 362points POST K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I tell my daughter this bc I want her to be prepared when I'm not here anymore.

SnooTigers6225 , Marco FrontSoldier Report Final score: 309points POST Anaïs Grobin Anaïs Grobin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I wish this was talked about more. I've been married to a "pushy" guy for 20 years. The implication in this post is that it veers towards sexual or physical abuse, but it doesn't always. My husband is neither, but his pushiness has destroyed parts of our life that we can never fully repair. Pushy people aren't all motivated by the same things, but the end result will be horrifying regardless, if unchecked. Rule #1 in life, set clear boundaries. Rule #2, maintain those boundaries at all costs. 196 196points reply View More Replies... View more comments #9 Not everyone who comes into your life is meant to stay.

One night when I was 15, they got into a huge fight. I had had enough of this in my life. I got up, took my mother's car and left. I came back the next morning to get some clothes, and my mom shows up. I told her I was leaving and would not come back until they divorced, and I didn't. She gave me $200 and the car to use. I left town, and they divorced. We were all happier. Parents should never stay together " for the kids." All you end up with is mentally disabled children. I speak from experience. 243 243points reply View More Replies...

Got a peloton to see if that's easier. It's not. Exercise and watching your calorie intake is the only thing that keeps you feeling good at every age.

The major reason behind many of those citations in this article is insecurity you have value too and are allowed to experience good things, and secondly from way too many ppl self sacrificing themselves for nothing when nobody actualy "asked".
